Willamette
Valley Has
Most Berries
Strawberries Lead
. In Acreage, Black Raps
Top Red Varieties
. Approximately 90 per cent of
all Oregon's berry acreage la in
the Willamette valley. Black rasp
berries outnumber red In Oregon
acreage. There are 170 acres of
cranberries in Oregon.
These figures were compiled
recently from a survey of the nine
principal berries grown in "Ore
gon. ' The total acreage of these
berries has declined from a peak
- of approximately 25,000 acres in
1941 to less than 17,000 harvested
in Wtt:;:v;;V':v:fv-:
' Despite the decline in acreage,
the increased price caused the val
ue of farm marketings from these
crops to reach an all-time high
record of $6,673,000 In 1944. Labor
shortages, increased costs and un
certain returns are the primary
factors contributing to a decline.
The high prices have stimula-
, ted better care and more complete
harvesting so that average yields
have been higher in recent years.
Preliminary estimates of acre
age harvested in 1944 show straw
berries leading with approximate
ly 6000 acres. Next are black rasp
berries, 2800 acres; boysenberries
and youngberries, 2500 acres; red
raspberries, 2100 acres; loganber
ties,, 1250 acres; grapes, 720 acres;
tame blackberries, 680 acres;
gooseberries, 580 acres, and cran
berries, 170 acres.
Forced Molting
Program Now
Poultrymen who plan to force
molt their White Leghorn laying
stock this year, are reminded that
the period between June 1 and
July 1 is considered the best time
for force molting. Beginning at
mis time, the hens reeeive an
eight, to ten. week' rest, which has
become a common and profitable
practice fat the past 10 or IS years,
To start the birds molting, they
are confined to the hen house and
all mash is taken from them, with
the amount of grain and water
they Teceive being greatly redu
ced. Feathers will usually start to
drop 10 to 15 days after the mash
and water are first removed
After the feathers are dropped,
the birds then have from two to
four weeks vacation. - With full
diet , restored to them, they are
turned out on clean range and
given all the succulent grain feed
they will eat
The force melting program is
reported less successful on hea
vier breed.
